Brief Summary

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. A variety of exercise interventions which were designed as randomized control trails (RCTs) have been studied and shown effectiveness in improving pain and disability. These exercises typically focus on the abdominal and back musculature strength. However, many LBP patients did not show any improvement in their symptom after they carry out those exercise programs.

Conditions

Low Back Pain, Recurrent

Interventions

GC group OTHER

1. core stability training: hold 5s/rep, 20 reps/times 1. supine, pelvic posterior tilt with TrA contraction. 2. supine, pelvic posterior tilt and maintain bil. knee on 90 degrees. 3. All four position with leg raise 2. Stretching ex. : hold 15 s/reps, 5 reps/times 1. Hamstring 2. Quadriceps 3. Additional gluteal muscle control training: hold 10 s/reps, 20 reps/times 1st to 2nd: 1. clam ex. without resistance 2. single leg bridge with maintain bil. ASIS even level 3rd to 4th: maintain 1st to 2nd ex. with resistance 5th: <!-- --> 1. maintain 3rd to 4th ex. 2. single leg standing on rock board to maintain balance 6th: <!-- --> 1. maintain 5th ex. 2. lunge ex. without hip internal rotation
